First of all, no one..HIRED...anyone. Shelton does not work on Edwards' campaign team! HE HASN'T EVEN ENDORSED JOHN EDWARDS!

Shelton has been giving the Senator advice for years about the military...LONG BEFORE CLARK DECIDED TO BECOME A DEMOCRAT!

To say that Edwards got advice from Shelton to undermine Clark is pure ignorance on your part.

Shelton...IS A FELLOW NORTH CAROLINIAN! He has done many things at NC State University, the first college that Edwards graduated from, and he and Edwards know each other from way back! He was just trying to help Edwards because they know each other, and Edwards, just like Dean, Clinton, Dubya, and a lot of other politicians, has never served in the military, but don't jump on Edwards for it!!! He enlisted in the draft during the Vietnam error, but his lottery number was never selected. That was good for him, but it's not like he was dodging the draft or anything, he just wasn't selected. So, since he doesn't have military experience, and he went directly to college like most people instead of going to the military first, it only makes sense for him to, like most politicians, receive advice from someone...HE KNOWS...like Shelton, who does have military experience!

That's all it is. A friend, and fellow North Carolinian, giving advice to someone he knows. Someone trying to help. HE DOESN'T WORK FOR EDWARDS!!!

There is nothing underminded about this. It is good politics, and it doesn't matter whether Shelton is a Republican, or a Democrat, or a newly decided Democrat like Clark, Shelton knows military matters and strategy, AFTER ALL, HE WAS CLARK'S SUPERIOR and he served on the Joint Chiefs of Staff, and that is why Clark's people are now lashing out against Edwards about getting advice from Shelton. It has nothing to do with receiving a little advice from Shelton, a friend and fellow North Carolinian, and it has everything to do with losing an advantage that Clark feels like he has.

Shelton knows more than Clark does and his advice will be a great help to Edwards, and Clark doesn't like it...
